My new compulsory purchase

Thursday, October 18, 2012

So most recently I have become one of those people that have
the Iphone and Ipad fever, constantly going online checking for phone prices,
seeing if the Ipad price has gone down, checking to see if there’s a new IOS
out, logging on to watch YouTube videos of people who have modded their Iphone
or their Ipad to do all these crazy things.
This in turn gets me thinking, well actually the first thing I think of
starts even before I start the search on Google or YouTube and that is “Man I
want and Ipad!” and then the search takes place.

Now here I am searching Google watching YouTube videos
comparing prices and hating them for being so high, wishing desperately that someone
sell theirs for 50 bucks to spite someone and therefore making me the luckiest
guy alive! :D I like to believe this sort of thing happens, I mean there has
got to be at least 10,000,000 people that own Ipads at least one of them has
got to hate their device. So far I have
not been that lucky, believe me if I would have I would to this day search
every day for this bargain online and have more than one of them.

But anyway, after much thinking and searching I bumped into
this place, it’s called Free the App. And I know this is only my
second post and none if you really know me, BUT, this is where my compulsory
buy curse starts to kick in and before you say OMG and roll your eyes at the
screen, let me try to reason my purchase.
This bundle is cheap; besides it being cheap it offers so many different
options, and possibilities. Let me
explain: I want an Ipad, and I would love to be able to modd it, give it my own
special touch if you will. Now, this
little piece of software will enable me to learn how to create Iphone and Ipad
applications, not having any programming experience doesn't matter so I like
this approach and not only will I be able to modd my Iphone or Ipad, I will be
able to sell my apps online and therefore earn enough money to buy an Ipad and
modd it myself.

Hell, who knows! I might
even be able to do nothing but use my Ipad all day and make Ipad apps, wouldn't
that be just perfect? Well if you're
like me then you are most likely wondering, what I could do to make the I-world
a better place? Now, I don't know about
making an application that will change the world, but at least one that would
make at least a certain number of people's lives a little easier. I know I love it when I find an application
to fit my needs. So why not!? Damn it! I am going to give this a shot.

You're welcome to join me in this little venture, it says
you need no programming skills whatsoever and if you do happen to hone these
skills then it still gives you a marketing plan of some sort. I’ll leave the
link below in case you're interested and don't feel like scrolling up or
whatever. I was hooked with the intro
and maybe it'll interest you too.

Well, this is my first blog, I never thought that I would
start blogging I never saw the need for it until now. It’s not that I have anything against it it’s
just that I have not found it useful.
But now here I am trying to give my 2¢ to the world, hoping that the world
gives me two cents back per word LOL. Since
this is my first time it might seem a little messy for I have never really
even seen a blog before and I’m not sure whether or not it is necessary to have
like an introduction to what I will be talking about. I don’t want this to seem like a journal of
some kind, but rather just a combination of everything under the sun.

Who knows maybe someone out there is already doing the same
thing, but this is my space and hopefully people that bump into this blog will
not have bumped in to any another one just like it. As I do not know if an introduction is in
order I guess I’ll just try to list out a couple of things that you might find
in my blog so as to try to make your experience as pleasant as possible. Since I am a compulsive buyer I will most
likely be blogging about every little stupid thing that I have wound up buying in
the last few days. Not intended as a
review blog but just to keep it interesting you will be learning of the pros and
cons in my point of view.

You never know if my opinion might change your mind on a
certain purchase or if you also are a compulsive buyer just wondering what
someone else has to say about the product.
But so much for that, since I am kind of a tech junkie most of my
compulsive purchases will be tech oriented but as I said before it’s a
combination of everything under the sun, whether it was just something I saw online and had to have it that moment, to the latest gadgets that
must replace my outdated phone. Believe
me, categorizing myself as a compulsive buyer does not automatically mean that I
have the money to indulge myself as I wish I could. Because, the fact remains that I can’t
always afford certain things, unfortunately that doesn't seem to stop me from
wanting something that I might not really need and trying desperately to get it
for a bargain price. Isn't that what
America is all about?

OK then my next post though a little outdated is one of the
purchases that I most regret making in one of my most trying times economically
speaking, you might get a laugh or you might even identify with it, but in any
case though most of the time I try to justify my purchases you will hear both
sides of the coin keeping in mind that instead of buying food or paying for my
rent my mind was thinking “ I've got to the have to it.”
